I think I will try without batting next time. Tying could also be an alternative. I will do a search on that too.Umintsuruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16417562358986210845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6587477576636106201.post-46866832451867376032010-01-11T02:27:06.307+08:002010-01-11T02:27:06.307+08:00I should add you *COULD* quilt without batting.

The batting is there to provide another layer of insulation.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17127914310809216760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6587477576636106201.post-47711008578350160852010-01-11T02:25:53.469+08:002010-01-11T02:25:53.469+08:00You can "tie" a quilt instead of stitchi...You can "tie" a quilt instead of stitching it. You tie knots of heavy thread or yarn appropriately spaced to hold it together. I've never used my sewing machine to do the quilting part. Mine isn't big enough to handle the job but I've hand quilted several. Long and tedious but soothing to the soul in its meditative qualities. Good luck. I think you could google "tied quilts" and find more information there. Spacing is largely based on the types of fabrics used, how much the inner batting might move, etc.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17127914310809216760noreply@blogger.com
